The inference is that Trump’s power base includes white nationalists and neo-Nazis and by protecting his power base, Trump leaves us questioning whether he’s simply a white nationalists and neo-Nazi himself?

The Economist’s moral test is important but more importantly it questions Trump’s judgement, leadership and fundamentally why’s he still running the US?

Liberals in North America and around the world will start to question whether Trump’s America has simply become a fascist state?

It never ceases to amaze me, which articles are the most and least popular. In the case of the Economist, it has a global brand and a global market. There is a consistency to the quality of reporting, and a house-style, based on evidence and analysis – generally there’s a balanced argument, with different perspectives before reaching a conclusion. Another important factor is often the uniqueness of the perspective. Most of the time, the content is pitched at subscribers and advertisers, current and future.

However, in the last year, I have noted that the Economist titles or headlines lack a certain ‘wow’ or ‘must-read’ factor.
